Jinn and Painting

In detail painting, one often uses different toned colors in a layering fashion. The most obvious example is painters who make ceramic pots look like old and rusty metal pots. The use a dark red all over, then several lighter reds - applied less over the pot then the previous layers as to see the previous layers, then the silver on top of the reds - to make the red look like rust and the pot like metal.
So in jinn, especially on big jinn, why don't we start with some darkened lime sulphur, and finish with the whiter?

Lime Sulpher-ing Jinn (deadwood)

I applied lime sulphur today. It didn't smell as much as I remember.
The sulphur kills molds and spores which cause decay in the wood. It also makes the wood unpleasant to insects.
The lime, combined with the the sulphur, kills everything else by corroding proteins.
the lime dries to a nice white color, like old dead branches.

Juniper Bark


Juniper bark comes off easy at this time of year.

Don't forget to shape your branches, if necessary. Leave the wire on the jinned wood for the whole year.
